SHAMEFUL ABUSE

MAN FOR HIS OPEN HONESTY.

MAN tOR HIS OIEN HON ESI1
VIM. Ed. Robson, NJ. D., L. R. G. S. l.,
NJ. X. Q. g. P. l., late of the Royal Navy,
of England, has got into professional
trouble for writing the following open let
ter to the editor of the London Family
Doctor:
II believe it to be the duty of every
physician to make known any means or
remedy whereby sickness can be prevent
ed, and it Is for this purpose l write to
give my experience both here and abroad.
l ask the publication of the statement
that people may be warned before 1t is too
late, to say to them that there is at hand
a means by which they may be restored to
perfect health. 1t is we'll known to the
medical world, and indeed, to the laity,
that certain disease is making terrible
havoc; that next to consumption it is the
most fatal, and that when fully developed
there is nothing to be done for the suf
ferer."
physicians and scientists have long
been trying to throw light upon the cause,
and if possible, find in nature a medicine
for this fatal malady. They have shown,
absolutely, that the blood-purifying or
gans of vital Importance, are the kidneys,
and that when they once fail, the poison
which they should take out of the blood is
carried by the blood into every part of
the body, developing disease"
"In my hospital practice in England,
India and South America, and also while
surgeon in the royal navy of Great
Britain, gave great deal of attention
to the study of diseases of the kidneys
and urinary organs, and found that not
only was the cure of chronic Bright's DIS
ease hopeless, but that kidney disease was
remarkably prevalent; much more so than
generally known, and was the cause of the
majority of cases of sickness; and fur
ther, that the medical profession has no
remedy which exerts any absolute control
over these organs in disease"
"Some time ago, when I had case
which resisted all regular treatment
which is very limited plicated with
the passing of stones from the kidneys,
much against my will permitted my pa
tient to use Warmers safe cure, of which
1 had heard marvellous results. In his
case the result was simply marvellous, as
the attack was severe one, and develop
ment very grave, for an analysis showed
per cent of albumen and granular tube
casts"
''The action of the medicine was singu-
lar and incomprehensible to me. l had
never seen anything like it. The patient
recovered promptly, and is to-day well
and healthy man. This stimulated my
inquiry into the uerits of the remedy, and
after analysis found it TO be Of purely
vegetable character, harmless TO take IN
der all circumstances"
Casting aside all professional preiu.
dice l gave it thorough trial, as | was
anxious that my patients should be re
stored to health, no matter by what med
icine. l prescribed it in great variety
of cases, acute, chronic, Bright's disease,
congestion of the kidneys, catarrh of the
bladder, and in every instance did ii
speedily effect cure"
For this reason [ deem it my duty
give to the world this statement regard
ing the value of Warmers safe cure.

IL am satisfied that more then one-haI
OF the deaths which occur in England ar,
caused, primarily, by impaired action o
the kidneys, and the CONSEQUENT reten

and kidney acid. Warmers, safe cure

the inflammation and prevents illness
